Chapter 973: Cursed Army of 'Nameless Cultivator'
Chapter 973: Cursed Army of ‘Nameless Cultivator’
# Author’s birthday special chapter (2/5).
“It’s mealtime.”
The half corroded man walked towards them with an eerie smile on his face.
‘What?’
They were already scared with the appearance of ‘Nameless cultivator’ and hearing his words made them even more terrified.
“Wh…what are you saying?”
Even though both Ajax and Levi had their own experiences in the world and had some blood rushing fights, the appearance of the figure in front of them already made them lose their fighting morale.
Nevertheless, Levi mustered his courage because his cultivation was much higher than Ajax and he even learned the cultivator’s law.
“What am I saying? Do you even know why he bought you here? Keke”
Nameless cultivator stopped in his steps as he pointed his corroded finger at Master Elek and asked them.
“…”
Master Elek remained silent without answering, making Levi and Ajax feel something was not right.
“So, let me explain to you why you are brought here.”
Soon, the corroded figure resumed his walking as he travelled towards Ajax and Levi while continued saying, “Since you are here, you must have already known about my past, right?”
Even though Ajax and Levi didn’t reply with words, they unconsciously nodded their heads.
“Good.”
Nameless cultivator nodded his head as he continued, “So, to become a regular human again, I have to eat two geniuses for each decade. So far, I ate four young geniuses and adding you two, I need to eat six more young geniuses to retain my human form. Moreover, once I retain it, I will become a King realm cultivator directly.”
‘What? Is he telling the truth?’
‘No, he must be lying? How can Master Elek be so cruel to hand over his personal disciple?’
Ajax and Levi were not entirely convinced with Nameless cultivator’s words; however, they unconsciously moved back in the same way they entered into the cave.
“Boom”
They continued to move backwards with each step Nameless cultivator took forward until Levi was blasted towards Nameless cultivator by some kind of barrier.
‘What?’
Ajax was shocked as he hurriedly turned back to see; however, there was nothing.
But still Levi blasted away was real.
“Senior brother Levi.”
Ajax stopped bothering with the invisible barrier and shouted at Levi who was obviously not moving even a little.
“Don’t bother wasting your breath on the dead man. Even if he was alive, I am injecting my purest Cursed Energy into him.”
Levi was currently unconscious just beside the corroded figure. So, Nameless cultivator bent a little as he injected Cursed Energy into Levi.
“Why are you doing this? Master Elek, tell him to stop what he was doing; otherwise, senior brother Levi will die.”
Ajax noticed there were some visible changes in the unconscious Levi and finally, he believed that Nameless cultivator was not joking with them; instead, he was really serious.
So, he asked Master Elek to stop Nameless cultivator.
“Sorry, Ajax. For me, Brother Nameless turning into a human is very important compared to your lives.”
Master Elek nonchalantly shook his head as he silently watched what Ajax was going to do.
‘Damn it. He really sold us to this half-corroded monster.’
Ajax cursed Master Elek as he looked at Nameless cultivator.
‘Wait a second.’
All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something as he continued thinking, ‘Didn’t Master Elek say that this Nameless cultivator killed an entire village just by passively releasing the cursed Energy? If his Cursed Energy is as strong as Master Elek said, I can absorb Cursed Energy at a faster pace, right?’
‘Anyway, I will try it.’
With that thought in his mind, Ajax suppressed the fear in his heart towards Nameless cultivator as he walked towards him.
The thing is, Ajax knew he couldn’t kill it because even the legendary mercenary king, guild master was unable to kill him. So, Ajax wanted to suck the complete Cursed Energy from the Nameless cultivator’s body.
Moreover, when Ajax thought a little deeper, he felt Nameless cultivator might be unable to kill him because almost all his attacks would be related to Cursed Energy.
However, Cursed Energy was not lethal for Ajax and it would not even corrode him.
‘Interesting’
Seeing that Ajax was walking towards him, Nameless cultivator revealed a slight smile on his face which was obviously an eerie one.
“Rise my cursed army.”
All of a sudden, he stopped in his steps as he made some hand signs and shouted.
‘Rumble’
‘Huh?’
Ajax was surprised by the rumbling sounds; however, he knew that it was not a good thing for him.
‘Rarr’
‘Caww’
‘Screech’
‘Swoosh’
As soon as Nameless cultivator finished his summoning, more than 10 spirit beasts appeared from the ground.
However, those spirit beasts were completely different from the spirit beasts that Ajax had under him.
They were half corroded just like Nameless cultivator.
What’s more, there were even a couple of corroded humans along with the corroded spirit beasts.
“You even turned humans into cursed beings?”
Ajax raised his brows as he looked at the two humans in front of the corroded spirit beasts.
“Keke…can’t you see?”
Nameless cultivator replied Ajax with his usual eerie laugh as he pointed at Levi before saying, “Don’t worry, he will be joining them too because I sense you are an extraordinary genius. So, I think one human is enough for my meal for this decade.”
“So, what are you waiting for? Go and kill him. I want my meal to stay in one place while I am eating it.”
Soon, Nameless cultivator shouted at his army of corroded humans and spirit beasts.
‘Swoosh’
‘Thud’
As soon as they received the order from their master, all the corroded spirit beasts and corroded humans rushed towards Ajax.
“Since you want to kill me, I will do the same.”
As soon as he finished his words, Ajax shouted, ‘Shadow clone, come out and absorb the Cursed Energy emitted by them.’
‘Swoosh’
‘Yes, master.’
Soon, an Ajax clone appeared beside him and nodded his head.
